Forums are full of parents asking important questions about swing sets, playsets, and playgrounds, especially those shopping for these items. We scoured several popular forum sites, including Reddit, and identified a few common themes and concerns.
In this guide, we will address three of these and explain how King Swings can help you avoid them entirely or plan accordingly. Let’s dive into three big concerns families have when they start shopping for a backyard swing set or playhouse.
We hear you. As parents, we get that. How many of our decisions are based on how quickly our kids are growing up? Do we get those expensive shoes that he’ll grow out of in a few months? Found a great deal on a coat, but it's summer. Given the current rate of growth, will it still fit by winter?
King Swings answers this swing set concern in two main ways.
We allow you to Customize Your Swing Set
This allows you and your family to really plan a swing set or playhouse your kids will enjoy for the long term. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach: we encourage you to watch your kids at the local playground, see what they enjoy, and design a set featuring those things.

Our Swing Sets are Sized for Growing Kids
Unlike a lot of the big box stores, many of our backyard swing sets boast spacious play decks, up to 8’ x 10’, as well as roof heights that older kids and adults don’t have to duck under.
Space is an overlooked aspect of the longevity and fun of a set. Kids don’t like to feel cramped in their play, and, especially as they grow if the swing set looks and feels like it was made for little kids, they may abandon it.
Not so with King Swings. Many of our designs feature swing sets that offer a wide range of play, keeping the swing set a part of daily play even as they grow.
Many parents don’t want a piece of junk that will fall apart in a few years and look old, decrepit, and sad. Their time is also already stretched thin, and they don’t want to have to re-seal, re-stain, or perform other maintenance chores on their swing set to keep it looking good and lasting long.
Is it too much to ask for a swing set or playhouse that looks good year after year without requiring constant maintenance?
King Swings once again answers this concern. Our swing sets are virtually maintenance-free thanks to the vinyl sleeve that covers the wood. Not only that, but we use quality components made to withstand time, weather, and your kids.
Bottom line: Because we use premium materials, your swing set will look good year after year, endure all Mother Nature throws at it, and you won’t need to touch it.

Oh boy, where to start? Concerns ranged from dealing with hundreds of pieces that may or may not be labeled, leveling the set, anchoring it, and securing the various fun items. It came down to not wanting to spend hours that meld into evenings putting together a swing set correctly and not breaking anything in the process.
King Swings delivers and installs all of our swing sets. Yeah, that’s right. No sweaty summer evening assemblies, no spats with the spouse, no accidentally teaching your children a new and wonderfully original colorful expression when you snap a small piece of swing set wood, none of this noise for you.
Instead, our in-house teams will roll in, consult with you on where you want the set, and then get it installed faster than you think. And when we are done, it’s ready to be played on.
